Palestinian Ambassador to Zimbabwe Dr Tamer Almassri has appreciated Zimbabwe’s principled position of solidarity with the Palestinian people at the just ended Olympic games.

This comes as athletes that took part in the Olympics Games did not participate in sporting events which involved interaction with Israeli athletes or holding official bilateral interactions with Israeli team.

“The state of Palestine welcomes this gesture especially at a time apartheid Israel is committing genocide in Gaza which so far has matryed 45 000 Palestinians mostly children and women,” Ambassador Almassri said.
